UFC 219 isn’t shaping up to be quite the blockbuster year-ender the promotion seems to be targeting just yet. As reported earlier, they initially tried to “get creative” by offering Tyron Woodley vs Nate Diaz for the welterweight belt, before ending up booking Cris Cyborg vs Holly Holm.
According to Daniel Cormier, the promotion tried to shuffle things around again, offering Khabib Nurmagomedov a bout with Tony Ferguson to add another title bout on the card.
He says Ferguson hasn’t accepted, and took to social media to try and pressure the interim lightweight champion into fighting his teammate.
